TRAINING: I usually practice twice a day. The first is some sort of blending of mixed martial arts and the second is a single discipline workout. My whole life is cardio, if I need to add some additionally or take a practice out, I will. At this point, being healthy is the most important thing.When and why did you start training for fighting? I’ve always had a passion for fighting. I started wrestling in the 8th grade and have never stopped. I began training in MMA in 2003 after graduating from UC Davis.

What is your favorite technique? I like to try to invent new techniques. My favorite moves come from the moment.

What does it mean for you to fight in the UFC? It’s been a long time dream of mine. It's been a goal of mine from the start and I'm excited to finally get the opportunity. Did you go to college and if so what degree did you earn? I have a Bachelor of Science degree from the University of California, Davis.

What was your job before you started fighting? I was a student at UC Davis and began fighting professionally shortly after graduation. I also coached wrestling at UC Davis while beginning my MMA career.
